I GOT THE JOB!

Details to follow. :D

Woot! I have an interview with the school I really wanted, next Friday. It's a real faculty interview too - 10 to 3 - and all I can think is What am I supposed to talk about for five hours?! (This is where all you employed people jump in and say "Know what you want to say when they ask you about..." and tell me all the possible curves they could ( Read more... )

You must all run out right now and find Griffin and Sabine by Nick Bantock, and its sequels. It was recommended by someone several months ago in a-who-knows-how-many-times removed f-list and I've meant to look into it ever since. Today I checked the first book out from the store and read it after dinner. This falls into the category of "illustrated ( Read more... )

Yay and double yay! The Little University archives called Psyche to check my references Tuesday, and when I got off work that day another school had left a message on my cell "just wanting to know if I was still interested". Wheee! I called them back to let them know that I am, and they also gave me a salary range and said they will give me plenty ( Read more... )

Having only been here at night before, I did not take into account that daytime parking would be utterly diabolical. Drove in so many circles in the parking deck that I nearly burst into tears and was quite ready to take a faculty space and hang the consequences. Finally got parked, jogged halfway across campus, and was a mere ten minutes late for ( Read more... )

I have an interview tomorrow morning with U of City library! It's nothing fancy, but it's a library job and pays more than I'm making now. (Then again, what doesn't?) Wish me luck!

Talked to my brother for a while tonight, which should have been a happy thing but wasn't because we mostly talked about what the job is, and how cool it would be if I got it, and when I would be moving so he could come help with that. In reality, this only highlighted the fact that this is not going to happen and the people don't even have the ( Read more... )

So I'll tell the old news instead. Thursday afternoon, I ran by work to get my first-of-the-month discount on stuff I had on hold. Stopped at the gas station for a car wash, grateful I had filled up Tuesday night--they were out of everything but premium. (I didn't rant about the local gas run, did I? Maybe later. Idiots.) Drove somewhat slowly to ( Read more... )

Eeee! Titanic University wants to talk to me! This momentous occasion will take place Friday morning. I had to jigger my work schedule around to make that happen, leaving me working six days in a row. However, that nightmare will be followed by three days off, including an evening with miladygrey and her insidious Dr Who tapes. (Unless you had a hot date ( Read more... )
